Martial Master

In an instant, the crowd was thrown into chaos.

But no one wanted to just back down and give up the chance to obtain the Rule Fruit and become a Martial God, so they all rushed to counterattack.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Although these Blaze Monsters were not affected by the power of the rules, once they left the Blaze Lake, the power of the flames on their bodies dissipated significantly. Except for a few Martial Emperors who were not strong enough but insisted on charging in, the later-stage Martial Emperors could barely manage to hold their ground.

However, there were too many Blaze Monsters here, continuously pouring out from the Blaze Lake, adding immense pressure on everyone.

“Roar!”

One of the Blaze Monsters locked its gaze on Qin Chen and in a flash appeared right in front of him.

“Get lost!”

Qin Chen snorted coldly and threw a punch. With a loud thud, the Blaze Monster was sent flying, shrieking, with flames and red crystals splattering everywhere.

Damn!

Ouyang Nana watched in astonishment, her heart racing. She had fought against these Blaze Monsters before; just moments ago, she had faced one and although she managed to fend it off, she had been in a dire situation and had to exert a lot of effort to deal with it. Yet, Qin Chen had sent the Blaze Monster flying with a single punch, the disparity in strength was like heaven and earth.

Qin Chen paid no mind to Ouyang Nana's surprise as he continued to advance towards the Rule Divine Tree. Soon, another Blaze Monster charged at him, transforming into a streak of fire, its power vast and even stronger than the previous one.

Qin Chen swung his fist again. Bang! This Blaze Monster was also sent flying, just like the first one.

Ouyang Nana was once again left speechless. This Blaze Monster was clearly stronger, and if she were in Qin Chen's position, she would probably struggle to unleash even half of her strength, and would certainly be in danger. Yet, Qin Chen effortlessly sent it flying with a single punch.

Did he take some medicine?

Just as she was lost in thought, a sudden surge of danger surged through Ouyang Nana. She turned her head to find a Blaze Monster had locked onto her and was already close.

“Roar!”

Two rows of sharp teeth spread wide as it lunged at her, too fast for Ouyang Nana to react.

Ancient Phoenix Bloodline!

In a moment of crisis, Ouyang Nana hurriedly activated her bloodline power, summoning an ancient phoenix that soared into the sky and lunged at the Blaze Monster, but the Blaze Monster bit it in half.

The distance was too close; the bloodline power could not unleash its full force in time and was shattered.

“Am I going to die here?” Ouyang Nana felt a sense of despair. The biting force of the Blaze Monster was so strong that even a later-stage Martial Emperor would struggle to survive a hit. Although she had remarkable talent, she was only at the peak of the mid-stage Martial Emperor realm. How could she survive such an attack?

At that moment, Ouyang Nana even regretted rashly venturing this deep. Here, her power was limited to only half, otherwise, she would never have fallen into such a dangerous situation so easily.

Boom!

In her despair, a flash of light suddenly whizzed by and sent the Blaze Monster, which had just lunged for Ouyang Nana, flying away.

It was Qin Chen!

“Are you crazy to dawdle in a place like this?” Qin Chen said coldly.

“Who asked you to save me!” Ouyang Nana shouted angrily, her face flushed with rage.

“If it weren't for Master Ouyang Zhengqi, would I save you? I just saved you once; next time, you might not be so lucky,” Qin Chen said indifferently, turning around to continue moving forward.

He had an advantage over others: his defense was exceptionally strong. Even if he was bitten by a Blaze Monster, he had no fear, allowing him to focus more on comprehending the power of the rules.

“You…” Ouyang Nana was so angry that she couldn't find her words.

Thinking back to her prideful days in the Alchemy Pavilion, when she considered herself above Qin Chen, she now understood her second uncle's good intentions. Qin Chen was indeed terrifyingly strong.
